The local community chose water as a central theme to draw to the attention of the G8 leaders and the world community. That water is something we hold dear, surrounded by lakes, that it is something we need to protect and value. That clean water and free access to it is a human right. To celebrate this theme there was a festival held in the local park, lakeside. Aria and the youth choir performed a beautiful song written for this specific purpose entitled Ode to Water written by Glenn Copeland. There was also a water labyrinth, Tibetan singing bowls, group yoga and dancing, activities for kids and community group booths. A beautiful prayer was said, during which we collected water from the lake and filled large mosaic bowls. It was a beautiful celebration.
